Default Noah's Ark - determining your cruising needs

Could Noah have placed all the animals on the ark? In this article,

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html

the authors note that it is "important to take the size of animals
into account when considering how much space they would occupy because
the greatest number of species occurs in the smallest animals.
Woodmorappe performed such an analysis and came to the conclusion that
the animals would take up 47% of the ark. In addition, he determines
that about 10% of the ark was needed for food (compacted to take as
little space as possible) and 9.4% for water (assuming no evaporation
or wastage). At least 25% of the space would have been needed for
corridors and bracing. Thus, increasing the quantity of animals by
more than about 5% would overload the ark."

This may be of some assistance in determining your cruising needs:}

BTW
"The ark was 450 feet long [ Gen. 6:15]. Could an ark that size be
made seaworthy?"

Did they use feet as a unit of measure in those days? Perhaps their feet
were much smaller than ours are today.
